I felt the recipe needed some tweaking it was to sweet for my taste. I eliminated the sugar as I wanted a healthier dish. The type of mustard used can affect the outcoming and I wasn’t happy with the taste. Best to play around with different types of mustards to find your own taste. Much, much better after sitting in the refrigerator overnight. I would say this is a good solid recipe that can be adjusted to your own personal taste.

This made an absolutely enormous quantity – far too much for the average family unless your average family has 12 or more people. I thought it was too mustardy and light on the “spice”. Also the amount of dressing is too much – I used 2/3 of a quite large cabbage – only used half to begin with, but the salad was too moist so I added more cabbage. If I made it again, I would reduce the mustard, reduce the mayonnaise and add a bit more apple cider vinegar.

A cup of sugar seemed way too much. I thought it was a typo. I used 1/4 cup, extra cayenne (I like spicy) Dijon mustard (about 2 tablespoons) and it came out pretty yummy. I’m not a fan of sweet stuff, but this seemed balanced with these changes.

This recipe is delicious! I used half the sugar and it still had great taste! It has a nice little kick at the end with the cayenne. I can’t wait to make this again!
